Monstera thrives in warm, humid environments, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms or rooms with higher humidity levels. Dust the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to maintain their iconic glossy appearance and allow for better photosynthesis. Rotate the plant every few weeks to encourage even growth and prevent it from leaning. With proper care, Monstera will become a striking and elegant feature in your home.

Water Monstera when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season, this is typically once a week, but always adjust based on the environment. Reduce watering in the winter months when growth slows. Ensure excess water drains away to prevent root rot, as Monsteras prefer slightly moist but not waterlogged soil. Use filtered or rainwater to avoid mineral build-up on the plant’s leaves.

To plant Monstera, choose a pot with drainage holes and fill it with a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix, such as one designed for houseplants. Carefully remove the plant from its container, loosen the roots slightly, and place it so the base of the stem sits just above the soil line. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Position the pot in a location with bright, indirect light to encourage growth while avoiding direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
